Participants

Reaction Steps

N-bromosuccinimide (0.933 g, 5.24 mmol) was added to a solution of the product of Step 1 (1.15 g, 4.37 mmol) and DMF (8.73 ml). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and transferred to a separatory funnel. The organic layer was washed with aqueous saturated NaHCO3 and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Flash chromatography (0-65% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded methyl 4-[1-(5-bromo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1-hydroxyethyl]benzoate (863 mg, 2.52 mmol, 57.7% yield) as a yellow solid. MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 343.9.
